Burkina Faso/Destabilisation: Jeune Afrique to the rescue of its accomplices in Côte d’Ivoire
Eight days after the President of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, openly accused the governments of Côte d’Ivoire and Benin of destabilization efforts, the response from destabilizing elements appears strained.
In a bid to divert attention and sow doubt among the Burkinabè and African populations, the recent article by Jeune Afrique seems to fit perfectly into this scheme.
The article from Jeune Afrique implicating former transitional President Damiba, currently under house arrest in Lomé, Togo, aligns with a broader manipulation and diversion strategy.
The aim is clear: add Togo to the list of countries allegedly destabilizing the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).
The false claims in Jeune Afrique’s piece also stem from the failure of a destabilization plot against Burkina Faso.
The swift and professional actions of Burkinabe intelligence services led to the capture of these traitors.
Jeune Afrique’s role, even in the failed plan, was to implicate Togo in the destabilization efforts.
The article positions Damiba as the mastermind behind the plot, fabricating military abuses against civilians in a letter supposedly addressed to President Traoré.
This misinformation aims to disturb the public’s peace and incite unrest. However, the Burkinabe people and a growing number of aware and vigilant Africans are now well-versed in these manipulative strategies used by enemies of peace in Burkina Faso, the Sahel, and Africa at large.
This awareness explains their unwavering support for the AES leadership and resistance to media-driven manipulations and falsehoods.
